Medium-high settings, (like say, high shaders, everything else medium), 1280x1024, no AA, expect 20-30 FPS depending on whats going on.

That was my experience with a somewhat similar system in terms of power. (non-overclocked 1.86ghz core 2 duo, x1950pro)

Crysis on my E6700 2.66GHz dual core and X1900XT 512MB was pulling everything on high except for shaders I think (been a while), and this was during the BETA mind you. X1900XT can pull some decent frames still.

your processor should be fine however you might have to step up the video card. crysis's website reccomends atleast a radeon 9800 pro.

X1900XT is the flagship GPU two generations ahead of the 9800pro. :question:
